Next session: the incredibly relevant Open Science vs research security😬

First up, Tricia Geddes from @csiscanada speaks of the evidence of 🇨🇦 quantum tech being highly sought after by foreign actors.

"Spies are now more likely to wear lab coats than trench coats"
#CSPC2020 Ex) In March, Canada launched $$$ COVID research efforts. ⚠️CSIS intelligence reported inc. coordinated activity for tracking PPE and R&D equipment.
➡️CSIS began strategic comms campaigns to reach out to academics/industry before it was too late

Excited to tune into such a rockstar plenary! #CSPC2020 Mona Nemer🇨🇦:
Trilateral exercise with UK, US a few years earlier helped as Chief Science Adviser a new role in Canada: "It may start as a health emergency, but it may not stay that way"👀

After three months of go!go!go!, I finally had time to catch up on the @arxivblog preprints from my work VPN-free self-isolation. Neat #quantum follows: 🧵⬇️ 🟣Starting in the broad field of quantum sensing, in force and acceleration sensing land: atom interferometry in cold atoms!

On my reading list, lecture notes, "Atom interferometry and its applications":

Next panel: Mapping dynamic research ecosystem

What are ways to watch/monitor emerging technologies a la data? Measure/access what's important?

On to "The future is research excellence" ft. 🇨🇦 granting agencies.
#CSPC2019

Importance of research excellence... Embedded (🤞) into the New Frontiers in Research Fund:
sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financ… "Is your project interdisciplinary? Is your team include #EDI? Fair Indigenous interactions?" One of the 1st Canadian research funding programs to integrally bake this in
@TammyJClifford: what more can be done to evaluate? ⬇️ Interesting concept #CSPC2019

Next panel: Research without borders: funding agency case studies on international collaboration.

Claire Hemingway: @NSF funds fundamental science and STEM education. NSF doesn't have static international offices
#CSPC2019 Next panelist is Chloé Somers of @UKRI_NorthAmer. There are 9 different UK funding agencies but only a single external access point org, UKRI

Next panel: Advancing Canada's ST&I economy internationally.

The main spheres for this: 1) Gov't-to-gov't relationships; 2) bringing technology/investment to Canada; 3) Canadian IP to markets.
#CSPC2019 .@MitacsCanada wants to lower the barrier to collaborate between 🇨🇦universities and companies. They have relationships with 22 countries to bring and send HQPs to drive innovation.

Day 2 of the Canadian Consortium of Research spring summit on the future of Canadian research. We heard a lot of great thoughts yesterday... Today: propose solutions Summary of "the academic workforce":
▪️Diversity... Including/hiring indigenous scholars... The numbers are not great.
▪️The balance act between priority- vs curiosity-driven research, a hybrid solution?
